Shipping issues detected (9)
Sorted by severity- High!
Storefront accepts international orders but your shipping policy only describes one zone.
We found multiple markets in your storefront setup but only one shipping zone documented in your policy. International buyers who check your shipping page see no information about their country — a common cause of checkout abandonment and WISMO (Where Is My Order?) support tickets.
Recommended fixDocument at least three zones in your shipping policy: domestic, expedited domestic, and international. List the carriers handling each zone, the estimated delivery window, and whether duties (DDP) are paid by you or the buyer. Shopify Markets makes the underlying setup easy; the policy page is the part shoppers actually read.

Shipping carrier unknown
We could not identify which carrier this store ships with. Without a known carrier, our savings estimates fall back to conservative category medians and may understate opportunity.

Shipping is locked to a single carrier (FEDEX). No failover exists for outages or rate hikes.
When one carrier covers every lane, negotiation leverage is limited and an outage on that carrier stalls fulfillment.
Recommended fixInstall a TMS (Shippo, ShipStation, or EasyPost — all roughly 30 min on Shopify). Enables rate-shopping across carriers, automatic failover when one carrier has an outage, and bulk label generation.

Your store has no written lost-package guarantee — buyers and support staff are both guessing.
Without a stated policy, every lost-package claim becomes a case-by-case judgement call. That slows resolution, inflates WISMO volume, and can erode buyer trust.

Single-carrier setup (FEDEX) with 1 zone — no zone-1 failover.
Recommended fixAdd zone-based routing: USPS Ground Advantage for zones 1–4 (cheaper than UPS/FedEx ground), UPS or FedEx for zones 5–8 (more reliable on longer distances). Most TMS platforms support rule-based routing out of the box.

Your shipping policy does not name an international carrier — intl buyers can't verify how their order will arrive.
International orders need a named carrier (DHL eCom, USPS International, FedEx International, or regional post) so buyers understand customs handling and delivery windows. Silence drives pre-purchase abandonment on intl traffic.
Recommended fixList the carriers you use for each region in your shipping policy: USPS / DHL eCommerce for sub-$200 orders, FedEx International / UPS Worldwide for higher-value. Include estimated delivery windows by region.

Checkout is USD-only, but you accept orders from CA.
International buyers paying in USD see a less familiar price and a higher card-network FX fee. Shopify Markets handles presentment currencies natively.
Recommended fixEnable Shopify Markets (free on Shopify Plus, available on Standard) for native presentment currencies. International buyers see local currency, you still settle in USD. Reduces card-network FX fees by 1–3%.

No TMS detected. FedEx is your only carrier. Every label is generated by hand from one portal — no rate comparison, no failover.
Adding a TMS (Shippo, ShipStation, EasyPost) takes 30 minutes and immediately enables: (1) rate comparison across multiple carriers per order, (2) automatic failover when one carrier has an outage or service disruption, (3) bulk label generation.
Recommended fixMove to API-based rate shopping via a TMS. Shippo, ShipStation, EasyPost, and Pirate Ship all expose multi-carrier rate quotes and pick the cheapest at label-print time. Saves 4–8% on label spend vs single-carrier portal pricing.

No tracking app or branded tracking URL detected. Buyers jump to the carrier site after purchase.
Branded order-tracking lifts repeat-visit engagement and opens a low-friction upsell slot. AfterShip, Shop, Route, and Parcel Perform all take 10–15 minutes to install on Shopify.
Recommended fixInstall AfterShip, Shop, Route, or Parcel Perform on Shopify — all take 10–15 minutes. Customize the tracking page with your logo, a featured-product strip, and a referral CTA. Drives repeat-visit engagement.

Why these issues matter
- Unknown carrier = savings estimate stays conservative
- No lost-package guarantee = more support friction
- Duplicate policy URLs = SEO or trust dilution
- No branded tracking = weaker post-purchase experience
